Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum

Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum features Antonio Carlos Jobim's son, guitarist/vocalist Paulo Jobim, and his grandson, pianist/vocalist Daniel Jobim, along with cellist Jacques Morelenbaum and his wife, vocalist Paula Morelenbaum. With the exception of Daniel, all of the group's members were members of Jobim's final band before his death in 1994, and Jacques Morelenbaum is also the musical director for Caetano Veloso, who wrote the liner notes for the quartet's self-titled album, released in spring 2000. Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum featured loving interpretations of some of Jobim's classics and also included performances by percussionists Marcelo Costa and Marcos Suzano and bassist Zeca Assumpcao. ~ Heather Phares
